Great warm up course before you play the big boys

Since the weather has only just begun to warm up, it is fair to say it’s a little early in the season for greens and fairways to be smooth and bump less. Fun course though.

Northstar fun

Course was just opening after a frozen winter. Tough on the fairways and especially on the greens. Wait until mid July to play here.

Fun golf

This course is perfect for practicing after a wet winter. Not too hard, players are friendly and not too pushy. We play during the week so it’s not full of young bully boys.

Challenging but fun

Course is really a challenge, the views of surroundings is unparallele, and the course is fun and doable for the average golfer.

Fun course!

All greens, fairways and tee boxes were in great shape but hang on tight when traveling on the cart paths! Actually dangerous in many places.
At the same time, owners are remodeling and sprucing up the place. Maybe they budgeted $$ for the cartpaths!

Beautiful course, great value

Love this course. Challenging with moments of “you’ve got to be kidding” to “I actual can par this one.” Starting off with a difficult par 5 starts you off with a bang but makes hole #2 seem easy!
Fun

Fun day in Monterey

Course is green and lush. Very playable. We’ve been playing golf for 15 years and find as we age we appreciate a course that is more gentle. This fits the bill! We’ll be back soon!

Course plays great

Course is in great shape. BUT the cart path is downright dangerous. Rides like a scary Disney
Ride even going slow
Management needs to spend serious money and have them redone. Sad

winter golf is difficult!

Course is in good shape in spite of the rain, but winter golf is hard! Pace of play was slow and the clubhouse staff must have been new. Got dropped from starting list! Started 1/2 hr late.
Round took almost 5 hrs...couldn't finish.

Fun short course

Had a good golf experience. Was surprised though about how much walking was required even though carts were required. As a temporarily gimpy golfer, I expected to be able to drive closer to my ball! Ouch!
We'll be back though as the course itself is really a fun course.

Course is beautiful

This golf course is one of our favorites. Both the East and West sides are easier than other Monterey Bay courses, but offer challenges to the golfer that consistently scores in the 90s and low 100s. It is well maintained, but having said that we had difficultly seeing our balls of the fairways because of the multitude of leaves from all of the gorgeous trees! That time of year I guess, but it sure took time.
The staff is cordial, but stuffy. When I check in with the pro shop, I always feel like they are annoyed that I book at a lower rate than "regular" folk...their problem! Golf Now gives us a great value.
